I made this Italian Chicken Stew the other night and it was delicious! For me, it was like having a big bowl of pasta, just without the pasta. Very filling, and healthy to boot, since it is all protein and veggies!

Directions:Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add in the onion and celery seed and saute until the onions become translucent and tender. Add in the garlic and saute and additional one to two minutes.

Next, add in all of the remaining ingredients. Using a potato masher or spoon, mash up the whole tomatoes a bit to make them more like crushed tomatoes. Bring everything to a boil, reduce the heat to low and let simmer about 15-20 minutes. At first, it's going to look very thick, but once you mash up the tomatoes and everything simmers together, it becomes the perfect consistency!

I topped the stew with some grated Parmesan cheese and served with a side of fresh-baked cornbread! It was delicious and seriously as satisfying as a plate of pasta, just without all of the carbs since there is no pasta!
